Where To Get Protein!

 Veggie Sources of Protein

Another common question I get from people is "where do you get your protein" I never realized how many other healthier sources of protein there were until I became veggie.

 

I thought this was pretty funny :)

 Here are some of my favorite sources of protein, which also

happen to be mostly vegan as well: (amounts of protein are estimated)

• Black beans (or black bean burgers) 
  •  15 g of protein per cup
• Kidney/Garbanzo Beans (good for salads)   
• 14 g of protein per cup
• Vegetarian chili (good on top of a vegetarian hot dog!)  
• 11 g of protein per cup
• Quinoa/Barley (good combined as a main or side dish)
• 8 g of protein per cup
• Tofu (Good pan fried or in stir fry's)   
• 20 g of protein per cup 
• Almonds ( Great snack--I always carry in my purse)
• 20 grams per cup
• Sunflower Seeds (good on salads or just as a snack)
• 6 g per 1/4 cup
• Veggie burgers (just sub one in for your old favorites!)
• 11 g of protein   

I also like some alternative meat products like veggie dogs and breakfast 
"sausage" from Morning Star and Yves taco crumbles! 

 Here are some other vegan/vegetarian sources
